NYT is doing its fair share of tabloid journalism or sugarcoated as media or cultural reportage. Today out of the blue, NYT has a piece on Ms. Angelina Jolie essentially telling us what we already know--how a manipulative, cunning, conniving, shrewd husband-stealing bitch that she is. Of course, not lost in between paragraphs and punctuations are also the not so subtle accusation and condemnation that People, who won the exclusive rights of publishing photographs of Brangelina's newborn twins, lost its journalistic independence by succumbing to the demands of the powerful Hollywood couple or actually only Jolie because Pitt is just Jolie's bitch, as the saying goes.
(Editor's note: personally I think Jolie is great, all the moaners and groaners can eat their hearts out. Come on, the woman is doing charity works, adopting orphans, saving kids one at a time. So leave her alone except only when she wants to be a media whore when one of her Oscar worthy flicks comes out.)
